'''Louis Joseph Lambert, Jr.''' (born December 21, 1940), is a [[Louisiana]] [[attorney]], [[business]]man, former member and chairman of the [[Louisiana Public Service Commission]], and a former state senator.
'''Louis Joseph Lambert, Jr.''' (born December 21, 1940), is a [[Louisiana]] [[attorney]], [[business]]man, former member and chairman of his state's Public Service Commission. He also served two nonsecutive years in the state Senate.
Lambert, while serving on the PSC, lost the 1979 [[Governor|gubernatorial]] race to [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[U.S. Representative]] [[David C. Treen]], then of Jefferson Parish in Louisiana's 3rd congressional district. A switch of 4,979 votes out of nearly 1.4 million cast, however, would have made Lambert governor by a one-vote margin. Lambert was the first Louisiana [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] to lose to a Republican candidate in a statewide [[general election]].
